Hopping Across Devices - Expanding Lateral Movement through Pass the Certificate Attack

Explore advanced lateral movement techniques in this 42-minute conference talk that demonstrates how attackers can expand their reach across network devices using Pass the Certificate attacks. Learn about the mechanics of certificate-based authentication exploitation and understand how malicious actors leverage stolen certificates to hop between systems and maintain persistence in compromised environments. Discover the technical details behind this attack vector, examine real-world scenarios where certificate abuse enables unauthorized access to multiple devices, and gain insights into the security implications for enterprise networks. Understand how traditional security controls may fail to detect this type of lateral movement and explore defensive strategies to protect against certificate-based attacks across your infrastructure.
